Default Re: Brenell STB-1 Restoration & Help Needed

Way back in 60's I had a 5M which took 10.5 inch spools which had the extra grey top cover plate rather than just the sturdy deck plate. It had 2 AEI spool motors and a Papst capstan motor. Next I had an Stb2 with 10.5 inch spools that had 3 Papst motors. I also bought a 'spare' 10.5 inch gold deck with half track and quarter track Bogen playback heads for copying duties. Built my own transistor amps for that. Still have the gold deck somewhere in the depths of the storeroom.
